Hello dear community,

With this Id like to request a certain application that would increase my uptodateness by a lot. Yes a twitterplugin ;), cause i love twitter actually.

So to begin, I've comeup with a concept for it.. also to better explain what Ive got in mind ;)

[very simple mockup ;)]

Okay so basicly it has a

tabslide for updating your status

tabslides for unread tweets*

*cause tweets will only have 140 characters.. it will be possible to show them completely in the tabslide itself.. hovering over means.. it is read ;)

avatar image

it has a function to show like unread text/email... but than how many unread tweets.

it should have a notification option in the sound/alarms section inside wm6.5 options.. so you can add your own sound/vibrate/mute to it.

and most important.. it should run in backround.. without popping up in the taskmessenger.

it should have options for how many times a day it will update (5 minutes/30 minitues etc)

clickable url's

extra - a sort of extra inprogram window ( this will mean you go out of wm6.5 today ). where you can see all tweets. or at least latest 100 or something ;)

I hope someone can develop this, cause i think personally it will have a big target audience ;) Me myself.. aint a programmer.. would like to, but i simply dont know where to start on it and/or how!

but im talking about how it looks in the first post on this page..that looks bad ass!! but im trying the other one to see whats what :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dishe:
Isn't twitter accessible via standard SMS? I thought most people use twitter in tandem with their built-in SMS system, and since you already have a txt plugin on titanium you should be good to go!

Sure, it would be nice to see the mailboxes kept seperate between tweets and all else, but personally I'd like to see an RSS feed or active tasks (i.e. the PIM tasks) since there is currently no other way to get that on the 6.5 today screen.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MRFERRARI23:
so if i use pocketwit on my phone right an send twitts, itll be using my text messages??? i ask cause i dont have an unlimited text plan an dont wanna get burned aka screwed with a huge bill!!!
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dishe:
Not necessarily. I said it CAN be used in tandem with SMS, and it shares many similarities (limited character message size, etc), however that doesn't mean you get charged for each tweet.

I don't know anything about pocketwit, but it may use data instead of SMS.

Most people I know use standard SMS instead of data, especially if they don't own a smartphone.

While I would agree that a twitter plugin is a cool idea (if you sms a lot, your tweets could get lost in the crowd), there are other potential plugins as I already mentioned that currently have no alternative. If it were up to me, I'd like to see those come out first.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MRFERRARI23:
gotcha!! but off hand do you know if pocketwit uses data or sms???
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Dromio:
PockeTwit uses data.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] strages:
thanks for the guys who like my idea.. hope someone can compup with the acutal program XD

ye pocket twit is using data .. you can send tweets by email i believe but of cours that would still be data connection required
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] artesea:
It should be possible to build a panel a bit like Shocos Weather panel which comes in two MortScript parts:

1. Settings, stores stuff in the registry like username, password and frequencies of updates, default Twitter app

2. The downloading of the tweet, shouldn't be too hard as it's pretty similar to the weather panel (might need a little work on the avatars), just need the RSS feed [although saying that, I'm not 100% sure you can get a password requested XML file with Mort, damm!].

The only thing that I can't see being possible is the update page, as I'm not aware of any input boxes on the tabs, instead you could have a page showing your status, with clicking on it bringing up a Mort prompt for the new status.

I was on my way out to go rock climbing with my wife when a US census taker was making the rounds at our condo complex, he was using one of the HTC/Harris Census handhelds.

The ONLY visible difference was that the Harris logo was on the top left and the HTC logo was on the top right of the case. The HTC Melbourne is named for the Harris' hometown of Melbourne, FL.

No, it does not have a keyboard like reported in other stories.

I did not find out what carrier network the device was on, so no idea was type radio is being used. Or even if the radio was enabled for voice/data or data only.

It looks a lot more rugged than ANY regular HTC device.

http://blog.htc-unlocks.com/2008/11/29/htc-melbourne-htc-converse/

And contrary to Olipro's blog... The Census subcontractor DID NOT act like a "census nazi", he was quite pleasant actually. He did not ask to take fingerprint scans or for any personal data at all, right now the device appears to be strictly to accurately map street address data to GPS coordinates.

I have a friend who is starting with the Census Bureau in the next week or so, I am going to try to get a better look at one the devices.

Here is Service manual for this rare device

http://rapidshare.com/files/209478659/HTC_Melboume__SM_A03.pdf
[Off-topic] RiverRat812:
Here is what I have found out:

The contractors receive 2 days of inside training and then a day of field training. The rank and file have to turn the device in to their team leaders at the end of the day. Team Leaders and QC are allowed to take their devices home. Part of the training does involve the data transfer, either OTA or via the RJ-11 modem.

The device boots to the mapping software, so they end user does not see the underlying WinMo OS. The devices are activesync capable and any work done happens at the regional office the device is assigned to. My contact did not see what was done prior to servicing the device but I suspect that the device was put into bootloader mode and reflashed. They were able to confirm that the device was connected to a Windows PC and that there was some type of remote diagnostic software used prior to the re-flash. Sorry, my contact is not a tech person so some of the specifics are lost on them.

The users are required to sign several NDA's prior to the device being issued to them. The serial # and asset id # are mapped to that user for Inventory control. The fingerprint scanner is used for user login only "at this time"...

The first phase of the contract runs until June of this year, so I will have quite a few chances to actually get my hands on one. If I do, I'll try to dump the ROM to SD Card using BuzzLightyears Grab-It. But I am going to wait on that until the end of the Phase 1 contract.

I work for the census and your comments trouble me. You would do well to abandon this idea. You know better than to tamper with our machines. Need I mention the oath you took, or the prison sentences listed in your manual?
[Off-topic] kdj67f:
Someone from the census bureau came to my house and immediately I was intrigued by this device. I didnt ask to see it, but tried very hard to get a better look at it. I could swear it had the verizon logo on the front of it instead of the logo pictured, but they look so similar I could be mistaken. Although useless to anyone who does not work there it would have been neat to play with.

Considering buying touch hd, but being able to use gpsdash2 is reasonably important for me. Does it work? If yes, does it work at full resolution? My present pda is a mio a701 and I use gpsdash2 with 1:25.000 maps for registrering botanical locations. Your feedback will be appreciated.

Ok, so nobody seems to know gpsdash2. Is there anybody out there who would be so fantastically kind as to download and install the program and give me some feedback (I know it is a lot to ask)?

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wetete:
I bought this software what seems years ago for my HTC smartphone (qtek 8310). At that time, it was way ahead of its time. Then, after one update, the developer went offline and never reappeared ever since.

At the moment, I am using Oziexplorer which does the job even better and is supported. Obviously, I now have a ppc (touch HD) and no longer a smartphone.

Conclusion: stay clear of Gpsdash2. It's dead.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mikdyb:
Thank you for answering. You are right, of course, gpsdash2 has not been developed for some time. However, I would still like to know how it performs on touch hd, as it it is the program I am used to.

I had a look at Oziexplorer and that will be my alternative, if I cannot use gpsdash2. Does Oziexplorer utilies the full resolution of touch hd?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] bonesy:
Doesnt boot on mine sry
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] wetete:
I am not sure. It does occupy the full size of the display but the templates you call upon are not 800x480. I don't think it makes a difference as you don't need this sort of resolution with oziexplorer. The maps are actually processed by the software in multiple resolutions, which allows to have crystal clear displays as you zoom in and out. Seing is believing: test it and you'll forget about gpsdash2.

Hope that helps.

Let's have a look at

http://www.vitotechnology.com/en/products/smartnavigator.html

VITO SmartNavigator works on Blackstone without problems and looks better than gpsdash2.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] mikdyb:
Problem solved

Thank you all for your replies. Did not get any real feedback on the functionality of gpsdash2, but you gave me some alternatives. Went ahead and bought the touch hd anyway (what an instrument!!!), and after trying both gpsdash2, your suggestions and a couple of other gpsprograms, I came to the following conclusions:

1. Gpsdash2 works to a certain degree if you change screen resolution to vga before installing and before using. However, I am not able to access all menus, so that dosen´t really work for me.

2. Tried Oziexplorer and it is obviosly a wonderfull program. For my needs it is overkill (I don´t need all those functions) and it costs real money. I´ll will certainly keep it in mind should my needs change.

3. Had a look at Vito Smartnavigator, and it would probably have done the job. However, it worries me that the program dosen´t figure on Vito homepage and I had to download from some random site. So what about development and even more important, where to buy a license?

4. Tried some freeware programs and ended up with Terracrosser, http://terracrosser.com, and it does excatly what I need and no more. I have to use sattelite photos instead of 1:25.000 maps, but the program downloads and saves them automatically from google with precise geographical calibration, and I can get the equivalent of 1:6.000 maps if I need it. So a lot less work for me.

Again, thank you all for your contributions.

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] gbajra:
Terracrosser

I have been using terracrosser and it is wonderful. Best thing is, it is a freeware and I can download goolge maps or yahoo maps (both map and satellite images). It is really easy and I can download selected region. I have maps of places I visit frequently and I add new maps if I am visiting new places. It also works with gps and also gives speed.

The user interface is not so touch screen user friendly when it comes to scrolling the maps. But not a big problem as map scrolling is seldom needed when you have gps. Also the program is under development so lot of new features are being added.

Hello,

since a few days I'm testing the new Mobile Shell 3. My first impression is very well. But one thing causes problems.

While I had installed Mobile Shell 2.x I was using S2U2 to make my device switch off.

S2U2 settings -> device switches off 10 sec after background-light turned off

WM6 power-settings -> background-light turns off after 15 sec - device switch off is not activated.

Everything worked fine... Background-light turns off after 15 sec. Further 10 sec later device switches completely off...

Now I've upgrated Mobile Shell 2 to version 3 but I've absolutely nothing changed on any settings - and suddenly S2U2 doesn't switch off my device any more...

My PPC turns off background-light after 10 sec (everything ok) - but S2U2 seems not to be able to switch off the device completely. Display is still on and shown darkly. But Touchscreen has turned off (doesn't react on finger-tapping).

When I close Mobile Shell everything works fine again.

So it seems that MS3 is blocking the suspend mode of some programs.

I think with Nitrogen (Mp3-player) it was nearly the same. In this prog does exist a suspend button but by tapping it only background-light switches off...

Anybody an idea or made same experiences?

Thank you

[General Topics] Switchke:
why don't you just change it in your setting of the battery in WM? I have a Lg ks20 and i change it there so after 1( sec he turns of the light) and after 3 minutes he switches off my phone. I also have spb mobile shell 3.0 and there are bugs in it atm.

Just click on your battery and go to the advanced tab.

Hope this helps you a bit
[General Topics] flahn:
Hello Switchke,

thanx for your answer.

My problem is a little bit complicated.

I'm using my KS20 in combination with the prog phoneAlarm. For me it's the only possibility to get the LED's of my KS20 turn on (if there is an new SMS for example) although it is in suspend-mode. Or do you know another way to make the LED's shine when device is turned off?

I got the same idea you described before. I changed the settings of power options in wm and deactivated s2u2. But it appeared a new problem.

If there is an unread SMS phoneAlarm is set to send every x seconds a signal for the LED to light it up. In older Mobile Shell 2.x or by turning off MS3 everything works fine - after 15 sec light turns off, after 1 min device switches off.

But by using MS3 the device every 10 sec after switching off turns on again (because of the signal of phoneAlarm I think). Problem only causes with MS3.

If I can't find a solution I will reinstall MS2 - the shining LED is very useful for me because I don't have to switch on device every time for looking after unread sms or new calls...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] owziee:
Imagine you have your phone in your pocket and the pressure on the screen becomes too high that it risks damaging the screen. It has happened to a lot of people with pressure damaged displays.

I wish someone could develop an app that could start an alarm (phone beeps or something) when the pressure gets over a certain threshold (which could be adjusted manually).

My english ain't that great but I hope any of this makes any sense...
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nir36:
Wonderful idea. tho it think it would eat your battery since you'll have to sample the screen pressure even when your screen is off. hope i'm wrong tho :)

Looking for a simple way to replace the EV with 3G on the task bar icon.

Any help appreciated!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Aaron McCarthy:
Go into a 3G zone and it will say 3G :P

All the icon files are acually in your phone.... meaning the 3G one is in there as well. I would assume you could just copy and rename the 3G one to whatever the EV symbol is to replace it... I could very well be wrong though.

Question though, if your EV says 3G how will you know if you're in a 3G area or not?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] gsvnet:
On a CDMA device, 3G is EVDO. Whenever you have EVDO showing, that means you're in a 3G area.

By default, it will not explicitly show the 3G icon.

Purchase the phone from play.com through topcashback and you get 3.5% cash back on mobile phone purchases and the cost works out at £385 plus free delivery. The cash back is payble in about 2 months. That's how I got mine.
